<p>Our house is about to be N+1 again, and it has piqued the biking here again, as has new local trails without 300m climbs...

Can't argue with that.</p>
<p>26ers do look strange when you've been on other bikes for a while though.

</blockquote>Norf. I decided that a fatbike deserves a snowier home, so we're Cairngorm bound.

Sat, 31 Aug 2013 21:46:49 +0000scotroutes5292427@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Trying to escape from packing for a couple of hours and determined to do a "farewell to the Pentlands" ride, I went to the garage and took the Blur out for a ride. That's probably the first time in a year or so as I've been riding a tourer, a 29er and, of course, the 9zero7 Fatbike has been my "go to" MTB. </p>
<p>It was bloody weird. The steering was all flippy floppy, the rear end bounced up and down, the grip and traction was abysmal and the tyres just looked so far away. </p>

<p>30 minutes later, with a wee adjustment to the shock pressures and I was thoroughly enjoying it. I loved the light weight, the quick response and I even got used to it being a bit sketchy on the dry, gravelly surface that's currently in vogue. I got back after 30-odd km with a big grin on my face. I uploaded the ride to Strava and got a couple of PBs over a dozen or do segments.</p>
<p>Conclusion? Biking is ace regardless of the bike you have or what size wheels it has. Just get out there and enjoy it!!!
